A trendy hobby around paper
Scrapbooking is a creative hobby that comes from the United States. It developed from the 19th century and conquered many Americans. Initially, followers pasted pictures and photos into simple notebooks. Then, it became a real industry across the Channel. Scrapbooking , as it is also called, has aroused great enthusiasm in France for the past fifteen years.
Scraper consists of composing photo albums, essentially with paper. The success of this activity undoubtedly comes from the fact that printing your photos to consult them in a nice personalized notebook is a useful practice. In the digital age, we take a lot of pictures, unfortunately they often stay in our computers!
Scrapbooking brings our memories back to life. Immersing yourself in the photos, having them printed, then placing them in a beautiful case does a lot of good. It's a pleasure to share with the family: flipping through an album together is much more pleasant than looking at a screen. Offering an album to a loved one is also a gift idea that will arouse emotion. What a nice surprise!
Paper, printed or plain, is the basic material to start scrapbooking. Of course, if you turn to a specialized store, you will see that the material is very diversified. However, to start, bet on a simple kit, made up of paper elements that will allow you to easily make your first album without breaking the bank.
At French Kits, scrapbooking is a hobby that we have known for a long time. In order to make it accessible to beginners, we have created several mini photo album kits . These contain everything you will need to make your first creation. Just a glue stick will do!
The materials needed to start scrapbooking
If you have friends who scrapbook around you, they may have a lot of material. It's true, if you go to the store, you will be told to buy a paper cutter, different kinds of paper, embellishments and so on. However, you are going to start spending a lot of money on a creative activity that you do not know! The risk is not to use it. In addition, looking for your own material means knowing the different types of paper, their usefulness, and knowing how to match colors and patterns with each other. This therefore requires documentation beforehand.
Why not start with a kit that doesn't require you to buy anything extra? Our mini album kits are designed with all the hardware: the structure and the pages are ready to be assembled. All papers are pre-cut and pre-folded. So you don't need a paper cutter or bone folder. The paper embellishments are also pre-cut. You will therefore only have to detach the elements to assemble them. All the papers and embellishments in the kit are perfectly coordinated with each other for a harmonious rendering that will highlight your most beautiful shots.
A scrapbooking tutorial for beginners
Buying equipment is one thing. Knowing how to use it is another. However, like all creative hobbies, scrapbooking is based on more or less complex techniques. Although you can find tutorials on the Web, these will not necessarily be suitable for a beginner. Also, the hardware you have might not be similar, hence some frustration. Spending hours finding the right video on Youtube will ultimately take the time you could have been creating. Then, starting alone is sometimes difficult.

You can fully concentrate on creating. Then you will have at your disposal two different tutorials. The technical booklet, printed on paper, takes up the stages of the project step by step.
